Winterim 2014

The second edition of Winterim at HCA will take place Jan 7-10, 2014 immediately following Christmas break.   Winterim gives our high school students an opportunity to explore a wide range of different classes not normally offered.  Winterim is part of a larger effort to encourage HCA students to recognize God’s call on their lives ... a call to use the gifts and talents he has given them to His glory ... by Him, to Him, for Him! This was one of the highlights for the school year for our students last year, and we would love to have you be involved. 

But you say "I'm not a teacher ... What can I teach?"  Whatever you have a passion about and is something that would interest students is a possible topic.  We want to place an emphasis on practical, hands-on type classes ... Last year we had painting and ceramics, landscaping, big game hunting, fishing, cultural dance, sewing, culinary arts, model bridge building, fitness training, CPR, photography, videography, songwriting, public service and much more.  We have new classes scheduled this year .... Robotics, cake decorating, community service, creating an iPap app, police work and criminal investigations, and more.  Our students have requested courses like home improvement/handyman skills, simple auto maintenance, fire arms safety, martial arts, nursing, photo editing, graphic arts, website design, cosmetology, fashion design and more.  

We will have a schedule with a variety of approximately 1-hour time slots ... You can teach a 4-day (Tuesday through Friday) class or a 2-day (T/Th or W/F), whatever best fits your topic or schedule.  We can accommodate requests for morning or afternoon classes.  If you need a longer time slot, we can even consider combining a couple of slots. 

Would you be willing to be a part of this special event for HCA students?  Or do you know someone who might be interested; we would love to involve the larger community in this event.  This is a wonderful opportunity to be a mentor for a great group of young people.  Prayerfully consider your participation in this event.  To volunteer to be one of the teachers for this week, simply complete this brief form and submit.  We need your response soon (by November 15th) so we can finalize scheduling for this event to make it a memorable one for our students.
